Windows Defender Firewall - Deny Windows Apps rules creation

[Mafecteau]

How can I disable Windows apps automatic Defender firewall rule creation?

I have configured local firewall rules and connection security rules Settings in the WDFASecurity panel.

I runned powershell commands to remove all outbound rules

$FirewallOutRules = Get-NetFirewallRule | Where-Object {$_.Direction -EQ "Outbound"}
Remove-NetFirewallRule $FirewallOutRules.Name

After an App like Mixed reality portal, Windows map is updated, a rule is automaticaly created.

How can I stop this behavior?

Hi @Mafecteau 

I wonder if this article will help: Best practices for configuring Windows Defender Firewall - Windows security | Microsoft Docs

Thanks

@Mafecteau we also have this problem in which the rulebase is being polluted by rules we dont want.

Did you found an answer ?
